Where did you get these Mallards?Thursday I re-homed 5 Mallards to a lake about 10 miles from my house. 3 drakes and 2 hens. The drakes were being aggressive, so something had to be done.
I let them go on the edge of the lake. They flew up and out over the lake, going in different directions. I said good bye. I drove home. This afternoon, I heard a loud quaking in the yard. One of the hens returned home. She is now contentedly resting, after a long drink and snack. I'll take good care of her if she stays the winter (northern PA). Should I expect to see some of her clan arrive back too?View attachment 2349513
